His voice was so low that almost only Lin Feng could hear it.

After all, in the Imperial Capital Business District, an area within the emperor's field of vision, if you want to discuss assassination, it is sometimes difficult to be covered by noisy sounds, so that it can be discovered by secret service organizations like Deep Blue.

"Since you have chosen to venture ahead, we will accompany you. Sray agreed.

At this time, he happened to be holding the receipt that the new guard brought to him yesterday to purchase weapons, and he seemed relaxed in the face of Ye Gu's temporary plan.

After walking for a few minutes on the endless avenue in the prosperous business district of the imperial capital, several people finally saw the iconic commercial hall of the imperial capital.

"Is it a century-old pavilion, how much will the new guard buy this time?" Ye Gu asked as he looked not far away.

"The quantity will not be less, and of course the profits brought to those merchants will not be less. Also, this is the task given by my old captain, Lord Yan Ling, and he also explained a little bit at the end. Sray smirked.

"What is it? that makes you happy like this?"

"He said, the amount of weapons purchased is enough, and the rest of the gold coins can be left to me. In other words, it's enough gold to buy our own gear. Slay said, showing the corner of the Imperial Purchase Order to Yegu.

It was just a corner, and it was filled with dense numbers and imperial words, but in the total item, Ye Gu still got the information he wanted.

"Fifteen thousand guns for the new Imperial Guard.

The new Imperial Guard will require a total of 15,000 armors.

The ammunition required by the new Imperial Guard is 1.5 million pieces in total.

The new Imperial Guard will require a total of fifteen thousand swords.

The Captain of the Imperial Guard will need fifteen knives in total. ”

After Ye Gu read the information that showed a corner, he still asked Sray beside him with some doubts: "Why didn't you take this out in the morning? ”

"Didn't you want to make another move in Longqing before? I thought I was going to quietly leave some weapons after purchasing them first, who told you to advance the time? But even then, I can't get what we want, can I?" asked Sray a little angrily, and took the purchase order back.

"I didn't mean that, I mean, the use value of this purchase order is not in the gold coins. Yegu looked at Sray with a smile.

"You mean?" said Sray, who hurriedly changed his tone and guessed with a little excitement.

"That's right, if this purchase order empire specifies a single supplier, then you can ask them to offer a discount under the pretext of a large volume, and if it is not specified, it is even better. ”

"It's true that it wasn't specified, and Lord Yan Ling asked to shop around. ”

"Then find a way to get them to bribe you, on the condition that the fire guns made of the special black silver are the conditions, if you can get better equipment, it will be great. Ye Gu smiled evilly at the Slei just now.

Soon, under the calculation and march of several people, the huge building of the Imperial Commercial Hall has appeared in front of several people.

Although he had come to trade a few times before, he still felt a sense of grandeur for this imperial general who didn't usually visit the imperial capital except for the Military History Museum.

Since the advent of the era of steam technology a hundred years ago, the empire has gradually transformed from an agricultural power that traditionally relied on the sale of grain and crops to a commercial empire dominated by commercial trade with the countries of the continent.

Even though the empire was not as exclusive to trade as some of the commercial republics in the western part of the continent because of the prosperity of traditional agriculture, the empire was able to rank among the top three in the world in terms of total trade alone.

If you take into account the Han Empire in the north, which is mired in civil strife, and the closed empire in the middle, it is not too much to call the Flame Empire the first in the world.

As a result, the empire has established commercial halls in major cities that are exclusively provided by the empire for official trade, and the commercial halls in the imperial capital are the largest, and have nominally been the most prosperous commercial centers of the empire.

"Sir, please show your identification first. ”

As soon as they walked to the door of the commercial hall, several people were stopped by the soldiers of the guild hall wearing gray imperial soldier uniforms.

"Didn't you use it before, is this the case these days?" Ye Gu wondered.

"That's the case, sir, the empire issued an order yesterday that all important places in the imperial capital must show their documents before they can enter during these days until the end of Longqing. But we're not as strict here as some places, as long as you have something to prove your identity. The soldier politely asked.

"Then take it out. Ye Gu said to the few people behind him, looking at the three people behind him.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, and Lin Gu, who had been following him before, had long since disappeared.

Seeing this situation, Ye Gu suddenly panicked in his heart, and hurriedly pulled Lin Feng to the side and asked, because Lin Gu had been following Lin Feng before, and he had never left for a moment.

"What's going on, where has Ringu gone?"

"Brother, don't worry. Lord Ringu is fine, he whispered to me before entering the business district that he still has a little more to deal with. When we're done with things, we'll just meet him there. Lin Feng explained in a low voice.

"Didn't you tell him that it was best not to go to the rest of your Lin family?" Ye Gu asked guessingly.

Of course, Lao Tzu told him, and he also promised me that he would not meet with my family. ”

"That's good. Ye Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Lin Feng back to the door of the commercial hall.

After all, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon of Imperial Time, and because of the recent preparations for Longqing, except for some Imperial officials who were vaguely familiar to Ye Gu and some familiar people, there were no more people coming and going in the few minutes that they were standing.

"Gentlemen, can you provide proof of your identity?" the soldier urged, somewhat impatiently.

"That's enough proof. Sray said, covering the bottom half of the purchase order that he had shown to Yegu before, and carrying it in his hand and showing it to the soldier.

"New Guard Procurement, the person in charge, Sray Rohr, Lin Feng, Zhang Yan. Are these three of you?" the soldier asked, reading his name.

The first name, Sray's full name, is a situation in which both natives and Westerners are included in the new Imperial Guard, which is not new in today's Empire. And the last name is Ye Gu's pseudonym, his documents are too late to forge them, so he simply kept an eye on it, and wrote the name he was going to write on the purchase order behind his name in advance, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get into the door of this commercial hall.

"It's just the three of us, can we go in?" replied Sleigh.

After simply registering and signing, the soldier shone a hot red gem at the place where the imperial emblem was printed on the purchase order. After the same red glow was relatively evident at the Imperial Emblem, he respectfully gestured to the three of them to enter.

"Gentlemen, please come in. By the way, the Empire's military weapons dealers are on the fourth floor of the guild hall, and the first three floors are the Empire's agriculture and light industry trade, which is not in line with your goals. ”

"Thank you. Sray thanked him, and took Yegu with him, and walked towards the luxurious wooden staircase of the Imperial Commercial Hall, which was covered with elaborate carpets.

As the soldiers outside the door said, the first floor of the Imperial Merchant's Hall was a general trading place, but the subject matter that the merchants talked about was basically related to agriculture.

On the second and third floors, at the door of the room that Ye Gu glanced at slightly, there were also traders related to light industry, and some of the objects listed on the booth were basically related to the lives of the inhabitants of the empire.

However, when you go to the fourth floor of the Imperial Hall, the situation is diametrically opposed to the three floors below, and the slightly bustling halls, booths, and traders below are nowhere to be seen on the fourth floor.

Even so, when the three of Ye Gu had just walked up the steps, two people greeted them.

The person in front of him was dressed in standard Western-style clothing, with a black tone, a tie and a round hat, and a cane in his hand, so it was hard not to see who they were. But the person in the back, although he was dressed somewhat in the same way as the one in front, it was not difficult to see at a glance that it was his entourage.

"You are Lord Sray, fortunately, I am a merchant from the Middle Empire, and I am sure that you and the Empire will love the weapons of our Western Empire. One of them said, holding out his hand to shake Sray's hand.

"Hello. Slay also reached out to shake his hand.

"We can go to the merchant room, what do you say?" the merchant invited.

Sray nodded in agreement, and followed in the footsteps of the two of them, into the room with an open door on the left-hand side.

Ye Gu looked around, the room layout of this commercial hall was not inferior to the Imperial Palace, and he couldn't understand for a while, whether it was the simplicity of the Imperial Palace, or the importance that the empire attached to commerce in this era of steam technology and commerce.

The commercial room was said to be a "room", but it was actually three times the size of the room where he lived in Luo's house. Although it is based on the Yamato style, so far, only the three of Ye Gu and the two merchants have stayed here so lonely, which seems to be inconsistent with this style.

"My lord, allow me to introduce myself. I am a merchant in the Middle Empire of Kolding, Maiti Auman, and you may call me Maiti. McNick said, handing a business card printed in his hand to Sray.

"You should know my name, if it weren't for the soldier at the door to tell you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been 'intercepted' by you as soon as we came up. Sray smiled, not malicious.

"Hahaha, that's true. I've heard that people in the Flame Empire like to talk weirdly and aren't very straightforward, but Your Excellency isn't a complete Empire person after all, how about we get straight to the point?" asked Mai Ti.

"Yes. I also like to get straight to the point. ”

As he spoke, he handed the purchase order to Mai Di from his bosom. Naturally, the one he handed over only had the requirements for the purchase quantity, and there was no content of the intended price.

"This amount, the Imperial New Guard has asked for to be delivered to the Military Pavilion within five days, can you provide it?" Sray continued to smile.

After reading the quantity with the purchase order, Mai Di frowned at first, and then saw the national emblem of the Flame Empire, and after touching it with his hand for a few minutes, the irrepressible excitement on his face was completely unreservedly displayed in front of the three of them.

"For example, if it was before, it must have been something that could not be done in five days. But the Empire's Dragon Celebration and National Day are actually a day, and this time of year gives us a lot of business opportunities. These weapons and equipment, which conform to the standards of the Empire, now have a surplus on my side, and there is absolutely no shortage. ”
